No. Gina Carano was not wrong. You are though.
Not your fault this time, maybe. Lazy thinking might just be the way of the world these days. Too quick to accept the simplified reasoning of a meme if it backs up your cancel culture ideology.
None of you who are so sure Gina said something "abhorent" (as Disney calls it) want to go to the bother of actually finding what she actually said:
Here's what she actually said:
$1:
"Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors... even by children... Because history is edited, most people today don't realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?"
She's not wrong. She's right. You have to careful when the forces of wannabe bosses start telling you to hate and even attack your neighbours. Bad things can develop out of it. History says so.
No, she's wrong and so are you.
If you're going to call out people for cancelling Carano because of her political views, then how long do we have to wait until you call out people for cancelling those with liberal views, as has happened repeatedly over the past couple decades by conservatives?
I won't hold my breath waiting because everyone here knows that sure as hell isn't ever going to happen.
Cancel culture stinks, but people on both sides of the political spectrum have been cancelled because of it, but conservatives only seem to care when it happens to their own.
When it's liberals getting cancelled, it's "Woohoo, own the libs!" or "Haha, libural tears!"
